''Financial reporting''.
The statement of changes in equity is a primary financial statement required by International Accounting Standard, IAS 1.


Companies whose headcount or turnover falls below certain limits.
It includes items affecting shareholders equity which have not already been reported in the statement of profit or loss, or the statement of comprehensive income.


For example, the European Union takes SMEs as having fewer than 250 employees and either turnover not exceeding €50m or (annual) balance sheet not exceeding €43m. Even within the EU, Member States may use different levels for domestic purposes.
These include transactions with shareholders such as dividends payable and new shares issued.
 
 
''Note.''
 
The term uses 'enterprises' and not 'companies'. Of course, it might have used 'firms' or 'businesses' and so on rather than 'enterprises'. The reason is that the overwhelming majority of enterprises are not companies but are unincorporated small businesses.
